DUCATI DIAVEL Recalls

The Ducati Diavel has 8 recalls spanning 2011 to 2023, with the most serious being a chain guard defect on 2011 models where brass inserts deform over time, allowing the license plate holder to loosen and contact the rear wheel, which can cause a crash. The most recent recall affects 2023 Diavel V4 models: the passenger foot pegs can break while mounting or riding, causing a passenger to suddenly lose foot support and raising the risk of a crash or fall. Three separate recalls address side stand failures across 2011, 2012, and 2012-2013 production. In all cases, the stand can bend or break at its pivot point, allowing the motorcycle to topple while parked and potentially injuring anyone nearby. The 2011 issue stems from the same manufacturing problem described in the chain guard recall, with insufficient material in the pivot area. The 2012 and 2012-2013 filings describe the same failure mode on later production.
